Sanskrit to replace Urdu on railway signboards in Uttarakhand

Names of railway stations written in Urdu on platform signboards in Uttarakhand will now be written in Sanskrit. As per rules of the Railway Manual appropriate change should have been made on these signboards in 2010 after Sanskrit was made the second official language of the state. Sanskrit was made the second official language of Uttarakhand in 2010 during the chief ministership of Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, who is now Union HRD Minister.
